" Comprised of a small staff, JY Kitchen brings delicious and authentic Korean flavors to Lexington. The beef bulgogi was cooked to perfection, tender and bursting with flavor. I especially appreciated the homemade kimchi! The whole experience felt intimate, and I liked interacting with the chefs, who clearly take pride in their work. It's a casual dining experience, but the food quality is top-notch. I strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone craving good Korean food. They also have a fantastic vegan menu which is a big plus! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this place! The dumplings were fresh and filled with flavor, and the bulgogi was tender and satisfying. The service was friendly and prompt. I can’t wait to come back for their infamous spicy ramen! " (*Curated Review*)

" The authentic flavors at JY Kitchen are unmatched! I had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Each item was presented beautifully, and the staff was knowledgeable about the menu. Their recommendations were spot-on! Overall, I would definitely come back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delighted to find this treasure! Authentic Korean flavor right in Lexington. My favorite was the beef bulgogi, which wasn't overly sweet like at other places. The dumplings were crispy and full of flavor. Makes for a lovely weekend dinner spot with friends or family. " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, I had a very underwhelming experience. The ramen I ordered was overcooked, and the dumplings were bland. I raised my concerns with the staff. They were polite about it, but it didn’t change my opinion of the food. I'm hoping my next visit will be better. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited JY Kitchen after hearing so much about it, and honestly, the hype is real! The portion sizes were generous, especially the dumplings - crispy on the outside and so savory! The staff was incredibly friendly; they recommended some of the house specialties, which didn't disappoint. The only downside was that the atmosphere can get a bit noisy during peak hours. I can't wait to bring my friends here next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to a Korean restaurant, and what a great introduction it was! I tried the bulgogi and found it beautifully marinated and grilled. The owner gave us a quick tutorial on the best way to enjoy the dish. It wasn't overly busy when I arrived, which allowed for a pleasant atmosphere to enjoy my meal. I wholeheartedly recommend JY Kitchen for anyone looking for an authentic taste of Korea. " (*Curated Review*)
